A purpose-built centre designed for rehabilitation
At Lockyer Valley Correctional Centre, our vision is to create a safe, service-driven environment that offers rehabilitation opportunities for those in our care.
Research shows that participating in rehabilitation activities significantly improves behaviour in prison and increases the chances of reducing reoffending after release.
The design of the centre’s buildings has been informed by an operating model that aims to create a safe and inspiring environment for staff and prisoners.
